Everyone's favorite Russian punk band Pussy Riot have released a new music video with a very pertinent message about vaginas. Ever since the now-infamous tape of Donald Trump saying "grab 'em by the pussy" was leaked, the internet has been swept up in an actual "pussy" riot. So naturally, they dedicated the video to him.
“Straight Outta Vagina,” which you can watch below, was shot earlier this year, and features band member Nadya Tolokonnikova singing English lyrics like, "Vagina is gonna win the race/Vagina gonna play in space.” The chorus goes, “Don’t play stupid, don’t play dumb/Vagina’s where you’re really from.”
“This song could be considered an answer to Trump,” said Tolokonnikova in an interview with The Guardian. “But I believe the idea of powerful female sexuality is much bigger than any populist megalomaniac man … Vagina is bigger than Trump.”
Tolokonnikova also criticized Trump for his cozy relationship with Russia's President, and for adopting Putin's aggressive—and dare I say misogynist—style of leadership. “Politicians are praising ‘strong leadership,’” she said. “Trump openly supports the authoritarian methods of Vladimir Putin. And it’s scary. It’s not the world in which I want to live.”
Back in 2012, Putin famously sentenced the Pussy Riot members to two years in prison for performing a protest song in a church. So it makes sense they don't take Trump's Putin-esque words lightly.
This video is the perfect antidote to the scourge of Trumpitis that has sickening America in recent months. You can watch it here:
It kind of helps, right?
